DEPRESSION TREATMENT
You've lost interest in the things that used to bring you joy.
It's become hard to get out of bed in the morning and summon the energy to get through your day.
Sometimes you feel sad or unhappy for little to no reason.
Depression is one of the most common and debilitating health problems worldwide. In fact, research shows that 17.3 million adults suffer from depression in the United States. Depression has the unique ability to isolate people, convincing them that they are all alone in their suffering. And, this causes them even more pain. Maybe, you're struggling with depression for the first time. Or, perhaps, you have suffered from depressive episodes off and on throughout your life. But one thing is for sure: you are hurting and need help.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION INCLUDE:
Having less energy
Lack of interest in the things or relationships you used to enjoy.
Not being able to complete the most mundane tasks like brushing your teeth or getting out of bed
Experiencing unusual changes in your sleep, appetite, or weight
Struggling with feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness
MY APPROACH TO DEPRESSION TREATMENT in Brentwood, TN
I have extensive experience working with and treating depressed individuals. So, I understand and appreciate the excruciating pain that depression can cause. I offer individual counseling to address and help to relieve the full range of depressive symptoms. This allows you to get back to feeling better again and functioning normally as fast as possible. At Vitus Counseling, you will find a safe and encouraging place where you can process your thoughts and feelings. I will teach you more about your depression so you can understand what's happening to you. Then, you will learn practical coping skills to help you manage your symptoms and improve your mood.
Together we will come up with goals that are unique to you and reflect your particular struggles. I will give you a concrete set of tools to help you reach these goals. I will show you how to identify and challenge your negative thoughts and beliefs that so often drive your depression. Then, I will teach you various mindfulness, reframing, and behavioral skills that you can use to feel better.
IF YOU NEED MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, I WILL WORK WITH PHYSICIANS TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT
I understand that there is a biological, not just a psychological component to depression. So, I appreciate the fact that some of my clients need to be on antidepressants as well as other medications to treat their symptoms. Fortunately, I know some of the best psychiatrists and nurse practitioners in the Memphis area. I am more than happy to refer you to them if you are ever in need of medication management services. Also, with your permission, I will consult with them to make sure that you have the most comprehensive care possible.
